While it’s difficult to avoid the asshats* (and “there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism” notwithstanding), given Amazon Ireland has launched this week, just remember that every euro you pay them goes toward fucking billionaire Jeff Bezos who is helping Trump dismantle democracy in the US and elsewhere. So please do your best to shop locally – or with smaller EU shops – and avoid Amazon as much as you can.

* I really need to get the media for my Mastodon server off of AWS. Another bloody hassle I don’t need right now. *smdh*

LOLOL. Of course he does!!!!

Boycott Amazon 07. - 14. March 2025
Two more days to go --> make it a week --> make it a month --> continue --> We got this! ^.^

Refuse to spend money on anything that feeds this corrupt economy!

Get self and community sufficient. Reuse, refurbish, repair. Grow your own. Swap, exchange, gift. Practice mutual help in your neighborhood.

Stay the course! NO AMAZON, MARCH 7 THROUGH 14, 2025!

Columnist Ruth Marcus has quit the Washington Post, saying publisher Will Lewis killed an op-ed critical of Jeff Bezos' edict about the paper's opinion section. Lewis' decision "underscores that the traditional freedom of columnists to select the topics they wish to address and say what they think has been dangerously eroded," Marcus said. Here's more from @npr.

it’s infuriating & embarrassing how much handwringing ink was spilled by idiotic reactionary liberals over the supposedly censorious nature of leftists who were neither too stupid nor timid to tell bigots, fascists, & neo-Nazis to shut up & fuck off.

These idiots 100% provided cover for the cultivation of actual fascist censorship by attacking its opponents.

Amazon boycotts must be making a dent; they’re running tv spots “reminding you that 60% of Amazon sales are from independent sellers.”

Time to open a new store, independent sellers!
